Description
This lovely green park, tucked at the base of Boulder Canyon and right next to Boulder Creek, is a favorite with families, picnickers, and joggers. When the weather is nice, you'll usually find at least one of the grills smoking, several of the picnic tables occupied, and the newly renovated playground area full of laughing youngsters. Just across the bridge on the eastern side of the park marks the start of the Boulder Creek Path, perfect for jogging or just strolling along the creek, and to the west, a cement trail winds up the canyon, a popular ride for bicyclers. If you're up for a little more exploring, cross the bridge on the west side of the park, and a short path will lead you under Canyon Boulevard to Settler's Park.
